I understand how and when to access the cash from a property.

I have access to funds through my HELOC on my full time residence to make a "cash offer" but as most HELOC's go the rate is not great.

Although, I would like to have first access to foreclosure properties with HomePath's First Look Program, income/capital gain tax benefits from my PR, and more favorable loan terms. 

Unauthorized occupants can lead to property damage and lease violations.7.

Thanks to my connection with him I now have access to plenty of subs at the best prices.

I had one particular vendor with high standards that would exaggerate anything he found.My rule of thumb: people can live how they want to live as long as they are not 1. damaging the property2. living in filth that attracts pests3. impacting the neighbors (e.g. odors, junk detracting from the neighborhood, etc)4. creating an unsafe situation (e.g. hoarding and rescue workers can't access the home)When I visit a property, I document any issues and talk to the tenant.

I agree the absolute best way is to get your license and access the MLS.

I'm becoming an agent for MLS access so I can a greater degree of confidence in data accuracy.I'd like to take on wholesailing myself so that I can continue to work on my rental portfolio at a faster pace.

My business partner tried to extort me.Just be careful and don't give too much access to anyone.

The better your credit, the more likely you'll be able to access a lower down payment option.3.
